My 13 footer project is coming along nicely but yesterday I checked the box-o-parts that came with the purchase and I'm missing one transom lift eye set. I have one complete rear and the front but missing one rear lift set. I did some online searches and found some 3 pc. sets but not singles. Where can I purchase just one ? I need the rear exterior eye, the bolt and the interior eyelet. Or if anyone has one laying around they want to get rid of send me a PM. Thanks

They are still available, call Sue @ Twincities. What year is your boat?

Different stern eyes were used on different years of 13 footers. What year is your 13 footer?
I have some stern eye/bow eye hardware in my collection...

I believe it is a 1973 but one of the previous owners had a portion of the transom replaced and when that was done the serial number was eliminated. It is registered as a 1970 so no serial number is required. The boat was such a good buy I couldn't pass on it. Anyway the one stern I that I have looks like it is SS and the bolt/shaft is part of the outer eye. The bolt is 2 3/4 long and 1/2 inch in diameter. The inner eyelet looks like it is bronze ? If you have one that would be great let me know. Thanks
